'''Electrical Melee''' is a standard power set that is a primary set for [[Brute]]s, [[Scrapper]]s, and [[Stalker]]s, and a secondary set for [[Tanker]]s.

'''Electric Melee''' lets you harness the jolting damage of electricity.  Arcs of energy surround your fists, dealing out endurance draining damage as you master the searing strength of lightning to smash your foes! It is a primary power set for [[Brute]]s.
+
"Electricity surges through your body and you can channel this electricity through your fists. Electrical Melee allows you to pummel your foes with various melee attack powers while jolting them with a powerful electric current. Electric Melee powers can drain foes' Endurance and temporarily halt their Endurance Recovery. Some powers may even return a portion of drained Endurance back to you."

=== [[File:ElectricMelee AssassinStrike.png]] Assassin's Shock ===
 +
A signature Stalker attack. This attack does moderate damage on its own as a frontal attack and cannot be interrupted. However, if it is executed while you are Hidden, this attack will do tremendous damage as you waylay your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power and are hidden. Using this power while not hidden will remove all stacks of Assassin's Focus regardless if you critically hit or not.

This Electric Melee attack deals moderate Smashing and Energy damage and may drain some of the target's Endurance. However, this attack also induces an unstable electric charge that may jump to another enemy target. The charge will jump randomly between multiple targets, until it inevitably dissipates. Enhancements will boost the effectiveness of the initial attacks as well as the jumping charge.

The Havoc Punch is a slower attack than Charged Brawl, but makes up for it with a greater damage. Havoc Punch can drain some Endurance from your target and may overload his synapses, leaving him writhing for a moment. A portion of the drained Endurance may be given back to you. Disturbing an overloaded target will disperse the electrical charge and release him.

Overview

Electrical Melee is a standard power set that is a primary set for Brutes, Scrappers, and Stalkers, and a secondary set for Tankers.

"Electricity surges through your body and you can channel this electricity through your fists. Electrical Melee allows you to pummel your foes with various melee attack powers while jolting them with a powerful electric current. Electric Melee powers can drain foes' Endurance and temporarily halt their Endurance Recovery. Some powers may even return a portion of drained Endurance back to you."

Powers

ElectricMelee AssassinStrike.png Assassin's Shock

A signature Stalker attack. This attack does moderate damage on its own as a frontal attack and cannot be interrupted. However, if it is executed while you are Hidden, this attack will do tremendous damage as you waylay your unsuspecting foe. This attack may be interrupted if you move or are attacked while executing this power and are hidden. Using this power while not hidden will remove all stacks of Assassin's Focus regardless if you critically hit or not.

ElectricMelee TargetedChainInduction.png Chain Induction

This Electric Melee attack deals moderate Smashing and Energy damage and may drain some of the target's Endurance. However, this attack also induces an unstable electric charge that may jump to another enemy target. The charge will jump randomly between multiple targets, until it inevitably dissipates. Enhancements will boost the effectiveness of the initial attacks as well as the jumping charge.

Your fists become electrically charged and deliver a powerful punch. Charged Brawl can drain some Endurance from the target and may overload his synapses, leaving him writhing for a moment.

The Havoc Punch is a slower attack than Charged Brawl, but makes up for it with a greater damage. Havoc Punch can drain some Endurance from your target and may overload his synapses, leaving him writhing for a moment. A portion of the drained Endurance may be given back to you.
